feat: Multi-Directory Workspace Support (part1: add --include-directories option)

[y-okt]

TLDR

As described in #1118, enable users to include files and folders from disparate locations within a single session, creating a virtual workspace. This will improve workflow flexibility, especially when related project files are spread across different folders.
This was suggested by @jacob314 to separate PRs, and this is one of the PRs to add --include-directories option. In another PR, I'm planning to work on /directory add <dir>, /directory show, and configuration supports.

Dive Deeper

Supported --include-directories flag. By this flag, the following features are supported.

• when inputting "@" (e.g. @package.json), the paths to the file in the target directory and the added directory will be shown
• edit/glob/grep/ls/read-file/read-many-file/write-file/shell are supported. Note that for edit and write-file, the shell wasn't executable for the files outside of the target directory, so some changes for sandbox was also necessary.

Reviewer Test Plan

1. Create ../test directory. Within that, have package.json
2. Pull this branch and locally run `npm install && npm run build && npm run start -- -- include-directories ../test
3. Confirm the following behaviors.

Summary of Changes

Hello @y-okt, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces comprehensive multi-directory workspace support, enabling users to define a virtual workspace composed of files and folders from disparate locations. This significantly enhances workflow flexibility by allowing the CLI and its integrated tools to operate seamlessly across multiple related projects or scattered files within a single session.

Highlights

• Multi-Directory Workspace Core: Introduced a new WorkspaceContext class in the @google/gemini-cli-core package to manage multiple workspace directories. This class handles adding directories, resolving paths, and validating if a given path falls within any of the registered workspace directories, including robust handling of symbolic links.
• CLI Argument for Initial Workspace Setup: Added a new --include-directories CLI argument, allowing users to specify additional directories to be included in the workspace when starting a session. This argument supports multiple values or comma-separated paths.
• Interactive Workspace Management Command: Implemented a new /directory slash command in the CLI, with two subcommands: /directory add <path> to dynamically add new directories to the current session's workspace, and /directory show to list all currently included workspace directories. Note that /directory add is restricted in certain sandbox profiles, encouraging the use of --include-directories instead.
• Tooling Integration and Behavior Changes: Updated several core tools (edit, glob, grep, ls, read-file, shell, write-file) to leverage the new WorkspaceContext. This ensures that file operations and path validations are performed against the entire virtual workspace. Notably, the glob and grep tools now search across all workspace directories by default if no specific path is provided, enhancing their utility in multi-project environments.
• LLM Context Awareness: Modified the Gemini client's environment setup to inform the LLM about all directories currently included in the workspace, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the user's working context.

Code Review

This pull request introduces multi-directory workspace support, a significant feature that enhances workflow flexibility. The implementation is well-structured, introducing a WorkspaceContext to manage multiple directories and updating various tools to be workspace-aware. The changes are comprehensive, touching documentation, configuration, core logic, and tests.

The most critical area of this change is path validation and security, which has been handled well by centralizing the logic in WorkspaceContext and using fs.realpathSync to mitigate risks from symbolic links.

I've identified a critical issue in the shell tool related to how it resolves directories by name, which could lead to ambiguity and incorrect behavior. My feedback focuses on resolving this to ensure the feature is robust and secure.

Overall, this is a great addition to the project. Addressing the identified issue will make it ready for merging.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a significant and well-structured feature for multi-directory workspace support. The core of this is the new WorkspaceContext class, which is correctly integrated into various file-system tools to centralize path validation and expand their capabilities. The new CLI options and commands are accompanied by good documentation and tests.

However, I've identified a critical security vulnerability in the isPathWithinWorkspace method. The current implementation does not correctly handle paths to non-existent files within symlinked directories, creating a potential for sandbox escape. I have provided a detailed comment with a suggested fix to address this vulnerability. Once this critical issue is resolved, the PR should be in excellent shape.

Summary of Changes

This pull request significantly enhances the CLI's capabilities by introducing multi-directory workspace support. It allows users to define a virtual workspace composed of multiple, potentially disparate, directories. This feature is exposed via a new CLI argument for initial setup and a new slash command for runtime management. All relevant file system interaction tools have been updated to leverage this new workspace context, ensuring operations are performed correctly and securely across all included directories.

Highlights

• Multi-Directory Workspace Support: Introduced the ability to define and manage multiple directories as part of a single workspace session, improving workflow flexibility for projects spread across disparate locations.
• New CLI Argument: Added a new --include-directories CLI argument, allowing users to specify additional directories to be included in the workspace when starting a session.
• New Slash Command: Implemented a new /directory (or /dir) slash command with two subcommands: /directory add <path> to dynamically add directories to the workspace during a session (with restrictions in sandbox profiles), and /directory show to list all currently included workspace directories.
• Workspace Context Management: Introduced a new WorkspaceContext class to centralize the management and validation of workspace directories, including handling of absolute paths, symbolic links, and security checks to prevent path traversal.
• Tooling Integration: Updated core tools such as edit, glob, grep, ls, read-file, shell, and write-file to operate within the defined multi-directory workspace, ensuring all file operations respect the new workspace boundaries and can search/modify files across all included directories.

[jacob314]

adding directories via command line arguments works well but I am having trouble when I add them from the CLI. Unless there is an easy fix I would suggest removing support for modifying the project from within the tool from this pull request and adding it to a follow up pull request instead. this pull request is already large and I am not surprised there are some additional challenges dynamically changing the project while the app is running.

[y-okt]

Hi @jacob314, thank you for reviewing. Separating PRs sounds good to me. I'll let you know once that is ready.

[jacob314]

@allenhutchison would be great to get your feedback on this as well as you filed the original issue.

[allenhutchison]

@y-okt thank you for working on this. Here are some high level comments to go along with my more detailed review.

• We should add the ability to resolve paths with special shell characters like ~

╭────────────────────────╮
│  > /dir add ~/.gemini  │
╰────────────────────────╯

✕ Failed to add directory: Directory does not exist: /Users/adh/src/gemini-cli/~/.gemini

This is OS dependant, and I'm not an expert on special characters that make sense in non-linux environments, it seems reasonable to special case at least ~ for the home directory.

• I know @jacob314 had some issues with the /directory add command, but in my testing that was working well. I don't object to breaking that into another PR though if that is easier to debug and iterate.

• We should also consider what a settings.json format for this would be. In my case I almost always want /tmp to be available to Gemini CLI so I would put something in my settings.json like:

   1 {
   2   "includeDirectories": [
   3     "/path/to/your/other/project",
   4     "~/src/shared-library"
   5   ]
   6 }

Obviously this could come in a different PR, we don't need to add it to this one.

[gemini-code-assist]

Hi @allenhutchison, thanks for the feedback!

Regarding your comments:

• Special Shell Characters: I agree that resolving paths with special shell characters like ~ would be a useful enhancement. I'll look into incorporating this, focusing on cross-platform compatibility.
• /directory add Command: Glad to hear it was working well in your testing. I'm open to keeping it in this PR if it simplifies the debugging process.
• settings.json Format: I appreciate the suggestion for a settings.json format. I think that's a great idea for persistent configuration and will explore its implementation, potentially in a separate PR.

[allenhutchison]

[gemini-code-assist]

Hi @allenhutchison, thanks for pointing this out! You're absolutely right.

It appears the ReadManyFilesTool was not updated to leverage the new WorkspaceContext for path validation, unlike other file system tools such as ReadFileTool and GlobTool.

The error message Security: Glob library returned path outside target directory. Base: /Users/adh/src/gemini-cli, Path: /private/tmp/testfile.txt confirms that ReadManyFilesTool is still validating against the single targetDir (/Users/adh/src/gemini-cli) instead of checking against all directories registered in the WorkspaceContext (which correctly includes /private/tmp as shown by /dir show).

This is a critical correctness issue for the multi-directory feature, as it prevents the ReadManyFilesTool from operating within the intended workspace boundaries. The ReadManyFilesTool needs to be updated to use this.config.getWorkspaceContext().isPathWithinWorkspace() for its path validation, similar to how edit.ts, glob.ts, ls.ts, read-file.ts, and write-file.ts were updated.

[y-okt]

Thank you for your feedback, @allenhutchison and @jacob314 , I'll address these points and will ask for reviews when ready!

[y-okt]

Hi @allenhutchison and @jacob314 , could you please review #4939 ? I added --include-directories command line option support there, based on your feedback to separate PRs. Thanks!

[jacob314]

heads up that there are 4 merge conflicts. can you resolve those before we review?

[y-okt]

@allenhutchison Hi, thank you very much for creating a fix for tests! I really appreciate it. I applied your change to this branch. Could you please review again? Thank you!

[y-okt]

@allenhutchison @jacob314 Also, the auto-merge was cancelled, if everything is fine after your review, could you please enable that again?

[gusbemacbe]

Good evening, @allenhutchison, @jacob314, and @y-okt!

I established the addition of the directories to the user-wide ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "checkpointing": 
  {
    "enabled": true
  },
  "includeDirectories": 
  [
    "~/.local/bin/personal-executables/",
    "~/.gitmoji/",
    "~/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge-non-git"
  ],
  "loadMemoryFromIncludeDirectories": true,
  "selectedAuthType": "oauth-personal",
  "showLineNumbers": false,
  "theme": "GitHub"
}

Moreover, and I faithfully replicated this same configuration in the project (my-project/.gemini/settings.json).

I entreated Gemini to peruse these contents aforementioned in the project-wide GEMINI.md:

1. Read the «`~/.local/bin/personal-executables/git-filter-branch`» script;
2. Repair thence to the «`../panforge-non-git`» directory and consider analysing the files at the `assets/docs/gemini` directory;
3. In continuation, subject the whole of the «`../panforge-non-git`» directory;
4. Upon the conclusion of such labours, compose a commit message adorned with an appropriate emoji enumerated within the «`~/.gitmoji/gitmojis.json`» register.  

But I was confused when it informed me that it was unable to access the directory aforementioned in the item 2 because:

• this directory (panforge-non-git) was outside the workspace environment or the workspace directories;
• Gemini’s access was restricted only to the workspace directories;
• the system reports that the path is outside the allowed workspace directories;
• the system continues to deny Gemini’s access to this directory.

In continuation, I effected some amendments, replacing the tilde with the full and true absolute path in both user-wide and project-wide .gemini settings, and in the GEMINI.md file, in which I excluded the update of ../panforge-non-git.

But, afterwards, this error remains unchanged and persists. Then I updated the remaining path ../panforge-non-git in the GEMINI.md file, replacing the ../ with the full and true absolute path, but Gemini informed me:

I must report that the situation remains unchanged. The error persists, and I am still unable to access the specified directory.

I have exhausted every diagnostic and remedial action available to me. The issue, it seems, is not one of configuration or instruction, but a fundamental limitation of my operational environment over which I have no control.

Therefore, it is with regret that I must definitively state that I cannot fulfill the directives you have laid out. The task, as it stands, is impossible for me to complete.

I reviewed the result display in the chat session log:

Search path ("/home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge-non-git") resolves outside the allowed workspace directories: /home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge, /home/user/.local/bin/personal-executables, /home/user/.gitmoji

I really am very confused with it.

[gemini-code-assist]

Hi @gusbemacbe,

Thank you for providing such detailed information about the issue you're encountering. I understand your confusion, especially since the /dir show command correctly lists the directories you've added, yet the tools are still reporting that the paths are outside the workspace.

The changes in this pull request (feat: Multi-Directory Workspace Support (part1: add --include-directories option)) specifically aim to address this by ensuring that tools like ReadManyFilesTool (and others) leverage the new WorkspaceContext to validate paths against all included directories, not just the initial target directory.

Your debug output is very helpful:
Search path ("/home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge-non-git") resolves outside the allowed workspace directories: /home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge, /home/user/.local/bin/personal-executables, /home/user/.gitmoji

This message indicates that while you intended to include /home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge-non-git in your settings.json, it was not successfully registered as one of the allowed workspace directories. The list of allowed directories shown in the error (/home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge, /home/user/.local/bin/personal-executables, /home/user/.gitmoji) confirms this.

This suggests that the issue lies in why /home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge-non-git isn't being added to the WorkspaceContext during the CLI's startup, even after you replaced the tilde (~) with the full absolute path.

To help diagnose this, could you please check the following:

1. Verify the exact absolute path: Double-check that the absolute path /home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge-non-git is precisely what's being passed in your settings.json and that it matches the actual location of the directory on your filesystem.
2. Check directory existence and type: Ensure that /home/user/Git/GitHub/Gustavo/panforge-non-git actually exists and is a directory (not a file) on your system.
3. Look for startup errors: When you start the Gemini CLI, are there any error messages related to directory validation or WorkspaceContext initialization? The WorkspaceContext is designed to throw an error if a directory doesn't exist, isn't a directory, or if there are issues resolving its real path (e.g., broken symlinks or permissions).

To get more insight, you could temporarily add some console.log statements in the addDirectoryInternal method within packages/core/src/utils/workspaceContext.ts (lines 45-70 in the patched version of this file). This would allow you to see exactly what path is being processed and if any of the validation checks (fs.existsSync, fs.statSync, fs.realpathSync) are failing for panforge-non-git.

For example, you could add:

// packages/core/src/utils/workspaceContext.ts
private addDirectoryInternal(
  directory: string,
  basePath: string = process.cwd(),
): void {
  const absolutePath = path.isAbsolute(directory)
    ? directory
    : path.resolve(basePath, directory);

  console.log(`Attempting to add directory: ${absolutePath}`); // Add this line

  if (!fs.existsSync(absolutePath)) {
    console.error(`Error: Directory does not exist: ${absolutePath}`); // Add this line
    throw new Error(`Directory does not exist: ${absolutePath}`);
  }

  const stats = fs.statSync(absolutePath);
  if (!stats.isDirectory()) {
    console.error(`Error: Path is not a directory: ${absolutePath}`); // Add this line
    throw new Error(`Path is not a directory: ${absolutePath}`);
  }

  let realPath: string;
  try {
    realPath = fs.realpathSync(absolutePath);
    console.log(`Successfully resolved to real path: ${realPath}`); // Add this line
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`Error resolving path ${absolutePath}: ${error}`); // Add this line
    throw new Error(`Failed to resolve path: ${absolutePath}`);
  }

  this.directories.add(realPath);
  console.log(`Added ${realPath} to workspace context.`); // Add this line
}

This logging should help pinpoint exactly where the process of adding panforge-non-git is failing. Please let me know what you find!
